(April 21, 2018) We’ve been following singer and pianist Kandace Springs for a few years now. We were digging her as an indie artist and then we went over the top with her wonderful 2016 Blue Note debut album, Soul Eyes. Now, as Kandace prepares for her Summer tour with Hall & Oates and her forthcoming sophomore album (coming later this year), she is giving her fans an advance treat with the EP Black Orchid, featuring three brand new tracks produced by Karriem Riggins.
The first single and video from Black Orchid is a tasty cover of The Stylistics’ “People Make the World Go Round.” The song retains the haunting nature of the original version but adds jazzy undertones that work well with her cool vocal delivery.
We’re excitedly waiting for Kandace’s full new album, but in the meantime we’ll be basking in Black Orchid and the video for this Philly Soul classic.
Check out “People Make the World Go Round” and welcome Kandace Springs back to SoulTracks!
